Muskblog: the sad, pathetic truth

I wasn’t going to blog today, but Canada’s Men’s Hockey Team finally is playing so my attempt to take a break from going out lasted one night. Last night I watched the Olympics at home, but I also played the guitar and even watched a DVD. I shouldn’t have done some domestic chores [...]

So gradually staff tore themselves away from work to make their way to the Metropole which I selected because it was being updated/gussied up and we’d never drank there. It is on [...]

This was on the front page of both free Vancouver dailies this morning. I don’t read either, but I see them at bus stops and on the bus. Here are the actual articles: Metro and 24.
